Incredible meal and service

This place was absolute amazing. I will be thinking about this meal for a while. Every dish was amazing - it was hard to choose a favorite.

Tip: order 3 and 5 course to share with another person to try everything!

Pros: Incredible food

5 stars for 5 courses

Me and my partner both went for the 5 course menu and we were not disappointed. Great fine dining experience and I'm not normally a fan of vegan cheese but every one on the cheese board selection was delicious! Would recommend

very delicious

Great vegan restaurant. A culinary delight. We had a three- and a five-course menu and could therefore try almost all dishes once. It was very good, delicious and very creative. We will definitely be back and look forward to new creations! The staff were super friendly and authentic. Everything was great.

Pros: Delicious, Creative

Cons: bring some time for a menue

Awful service

I sat down for 20 minutes and didn’t even receive a menu. Apparently a party of 1 is not worth serving. I wouldn’t give it any stars.

Cons: Bad service

Fancy place & food

If you're into a real mouthwatering experience in a fancy setting do go to Lucky Leek. Still have good memories about the first time I went there when they served a risotto with pineapple.

Pros: excellent food

Good food but not value for money

They do a 3 course or a 5 course set menu- we wanted to try everything so 1 of us had the 3 course and 1 of us the 5 course. This was not a problem. 😄 We were seated outside near another couple and we enjoyed their company for the evening. It is easy to loose track of the courses and what is on the plates (although they explain every plate) so an idea would be to leave the menu on the table. The cheese board is fantastic. The street musician that came was exceptional. I have forgotten the dishes and how they tasted as they have merged into 1 in my mind. The waiter forgot that we had not had pudding. We were expecting to choose between 1 pudding and 1 cheese board but instead got 2 different puddings and then had to ask to share a cheese board. Total price was £116 but to be honest we ate at Vaust yesterday for half the price and enjoyed it more.

Pros: Did not feel over full but no idea how much ate, Nice area but posh

Cons: Expensive

Not bad

Vegan fine dining is quite hard to come by. So lucky leek might be worth checking out. It’s pricey. But not more then you would expect for a fine dining experience. Food came out quite slowly. Soup was cold. And some veggies seem like they were undercooked in a way that felt wrong. If they did mean for them to be less-cooked then I think it just didn’t work. Lucky leek has a Michelin Star which is hard to come by especially as a full plant based restaurant. This might have set my expectations a bit high. So when I ate here I did find myself mostly underwhelmed. Their house made artisanal cheeses are really nice. And the jackfruit tartar was stunning. The rest felt pretty average in terms of what you would expect for a fine dining Michelin restaurant. And for what you’re paying. There is another fine dining experience in berlin called kopps. And I would really recommend going there before trying lucky leeks. The price is comparable but the experience felt much higher.

Lovely place and food

Loved this place. We had a 3 course menu and it was very good. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. Very friendly staff. Altough I really loved the food I wasn't blown away by it, which I expected for the price you pay, but overall a very lovely experience.

Pros: 100% vegan

Cons: Expensive

Best Vegan in Eastern Europe

This must be among one of the top few things to do in Berlin. The food was easily the best meals we've had in all of our trip across Europe. It is that good. I do not rate often, but travelers and people who live here must know how vegan food should taste and the rest that is here in east Berlin. And to top it off the service was equally amazing (Hanna). Please do yourself a favor and visit this wonderful restaurant. WoW!

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Amazing food, wonderful service

Lucky indeed. This gorgeous, classy spot does their all vegan chefs tasting menus on the weekend, with either a 3 or 5 course option. We went for one of each and each dish was sublime. Not sure I’ve ever used that word honestly before but here I really mean it. Flavours were perfectly balanced, thought had gone into the seasonal ingredient choice and the handmade products like cheese etc really were the frosting on the vegan cake.

I don’t even have a particular highlight because every single dish was perfection. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and beautiful terrace to sit out on on a warm day. Definitely a ‘treat’ dinner if you’re feeling fancy pants rather than a cheap eat but can’t recommend more for a special meal.

Pros: Fine dining vegan food, Innovative flavours, Lovely staff

Cons: Slightly expensive - but worth it!

An experience

4.5 - Great experience - took my mom there for a big night out. She’s an omnivore and was swept off her feet. Definitely fine dining vibes. The staff could be more polite and better trained, for such a high class, expensive place. Or at least the person who was serving us. The rule of only paying with card when over 100€ also seems like a stretch, even though it’s really not that hard to spend more than this amount at Lucky Leek.

Fine dining for vegans

I have rarely had a fine dining experience since being vegan, so this restaurant was a treat. They don't rely on mock meats and each bite on the plate is individually seasoned and fill of flavor. My friends and I went for the 3 courses for 36 euros and even the non-vegans were impressed. The dessert on this particular night was my favorite course: a mango cheesecake, almond praline and cookie ice cream.

Pros: Creative , Not just mock meats

Cons: Water isn't free

Fancy vegan food experience!

We LOVED the food here! By far the most money I've spent on a meal but well worth the money. A refreshing, classy change to all the vegan fast food joints. Splash out and try the 5 course menu - you won't regret it!

Pros: Inventive, delicious food

Cons: Expensive

Must go culinary experience.

There is room in the world for high end vegan cuisine, prepared with love and knowledge and this is one of these places. We had the 5 course meal and everything was beautifully delicious. Absolutely recommend!

Sehr gut mit Luft nach oben

Das Essen war sehr sehr lecker wenngleich die Portionen sehr klein sind.
Service extrem freundlich aber seeeeehr langsam und es ging auch einiges an meinem und den Nachbartischen durcheinander (einige Gerichte wurden doppelt, andere gar nicht serviert/falsche Menüfolge...)
Im Vergleich mit anderen Restaurants der gleichen Kategorie ist es doch etwas teuer hier. Nichtsdestotrotz würde ich einen Besuch empfehlen weil die Küche sehr spezielle Gerichte zaubert, die man sich so nicht erwarten würde.

Pros: Gute Weine, Menü mit Weinbegleitung wählen!, Schönes Lokal, Nette Bedienung

Cons: Zeit einplanen, da Service etwas langsam, €€€

Tasty tasty tasty

This restaurant really does an excellent job at presenting and preparing some special recipes.
We had the 3 course dinner and each course was packed with wonderful spices and really fresh ingredients.
I asked the kitchen personally for a recipe for the delicious cheese platter.....but the answer was a flat out ..."No". No biggie, another reason to go back.
The service was also very special and they were very attentive and playful, something I truly admire in service.
They even so kind to let my charge my phone behind the bar, even with a smile.
The atmosphere here topped our experience, cosy, lively and a nice seating arrangement.

Pros: Excellent service, tasty food, artistic food presentation

Disappointing ending of a good dinner

The food was really good, rather small portions but great taste and quality. I probably would have given 4 stars until the moment we wanted to pay. We wanted split the bill but they only accept credit cards for amounts over 100€, ridiculous nowadays where you can even pay 1€ pretty much everywhere contactless. And secondly the waiter got super grumpy that he received „only“ a tip of 7%.

Had the exact same response by the waiter when we visited the restaurant back in ~2015. Super rude!

Great vegan fine dining!

Food is always great and inventive (including wines and desserts), and the restaurant offers a fine dining experience that few vegan places do. Great to take non-vegans who think vegan places are always lower-end! Location is also great, one of the most beautiful streets in Berlin.

Pros: Fine dining experience, Food is inventive and super tasty, Desserts are also amazing

Cons: On the pricey side

Fancy Food

If you are looking for fine-dinning, their food is delicious. The portions are just very small and it is pricey

The very best

If you are looking for a fine-dining vegan restaurant, this one is the best in Berlin! Of course it costs more than the average restaurant. They also prepare gluten-free options, if you ask.

Amazing fine dining experience

Amazing time at lucky Leek. Quite pricey for Berlin but worth it. Each course was incredible. The truffle cheese on the cheese board blew my mind. One of the best cheeses I’ve ever tasted.

Fine but not amazing

We had booked a nice dinner but I’m not sure I’m cut out for these fine-dining experiences. To be fair, we didn’t go hungry. I was unfortunately seated at an outdoor table on uneven paving, so my chair was rocking the night away uncomfortably, with nothing to be done. I’d have thought this would’ve been addressed by a posh restaurant like this. Food was beautifully prepared of course, and sometimes interesting, but not amazingly satisfying, particularly for the price. However each dish was good and the cheeseboard was a cut above.

Pros: Beautifully prepared food, Quality cheese board
